There were some people on a train. 19 people got off the train at the first stop. 17 people get on the train. Now there is 63 pe

maria [59]

Answer:

65 people.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to work backwards.

We end with 63 people, and at the stop we lost 19 people and gained 17.

$x - 19 + 17 = 63\\$ ; if x = # people at the beginning

$x - 19 + 17 = 63\\x - 2 = 63\\x = 65$

There were 65 people on the train to begin with.

What are the relative frequencies, to the nearest hundredth, of the rows of the two-way table?

sveta [45]

Answer: A B

Group 1 0.25 0.75

Group 2 0.44 0.56

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of people of A in group 1 = 15

Number of people of B in group 1 = 45

Total number of people in group 1 is given by

$15+45=60$

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 1 is given by

$\frac{15}{60}=0.25$

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 1 is given by

$\frac{45}{60}=0.75$

Similarly, Number of people of A in group 2 = 20

Number of people of B in group 2 = 25

Total number of people in group 2 is given by

$20+25=45$

Relative frequency of people of A in Group 2 is given by

$\frac{20}{45}=0.44$

Relative frequency of people of B in Group 2 is given by

$\frac{25}{45}=0.56$

Hence, A B

Group 1 0.25 0.75

Group 2 0.44 0.56
